Hard to believe this was my first time being inside Doyt Perry Stadium for a game in eight years (when this happened). That was the first home game for Dino Babers as head coach for the Falcons; I skipped the tenure of Mike Jinks entirely (no great loss), and, from all appearances, made it back to witness the sun setting on Scot Loeffler. We shall see.
The game itself...well, the less said about that, the better. But being back for a game was great. I was in the Toledo area for work, and the weather was all you could ask for in early November, so it really was just a case of the stars aligning. In the time since I last attended a game, they've moved the "home" fans from the east side of the stadium to the west, so it was a little strange watching from a new perspective. But being around other BG fans, hearing the band, feeling the wind...it was great. For sure, it won't be another eight years before I'm back. But I might wait until there's a new head coach (or at least a new offensive coaching staff), just so the actual game experience might be a little more pleasant.
